that's my thought process anyway before I get DP's. S1+ is still pretty impressive. Plus don't want to pay to play with DP's, My SA said that's one thing they look for during servicing. Sorry I don't have direct numbers for you, but just wanted to share the route I am taking.
Agreed completely, CALI 91 is absolutely terrible, but I've always filled up with only Chevron or Shell. I have been running the Cobb v301/v401 Stage 1 Sport maps with ACN91 for at least 5 months now with no problems. Although, I have never data logged to see if its been cutting back on timing.

I think I will once I remap back to Sport after the tank runs dry of the E85 mix.

At the moment, I've been filling up 3/4th tank of 91 & 1/4th tank of E85. With a 14 gallon tank, I get a 96 oct mix, and have posted the data logs in this very thread and I've gotten a green light. Car seems to be running great on the mix with aggressive.

My IAT's are also pretty high, I've been getting 115 or so on warm 90 Degree days. Having BMS DCI (hot air intakes) doesn't help much either. I really want a larger intercooler!

Sweet!
